ZONE 12: THE BORDER COUNTRY
Dominant Terrain Type: Heavy Brush Land
Other Terrain: Hills, Cultivated Farmland
Features: Castle Dyr, W1, W2
The bulk of the zone is made up of think brushland that has some real potentiality for farming beneath it. There is also a set of hills that stand just south of the border of the March of Chronos, near the City of Polychronopolis. The most important feature of the zone is the great caravan road and the first 2 way stations of the route to the south, through which wealthy trade flows.
Unlike many of the other border castles, Castle Dyr was founded by the Marcher Lords and is given as a fief to the Burachek family as long as the help protect the caravans and trade. The great road passes right through the village of Dyr and is overlooked by the castle itself.
The Buracheks had success clearing the brush where the farming of the fiefdom occurs now, but there hasn't been any attempt by anyone else to clear more land in the last 20 years or so.
